The Early History of the Deccan (Parts I–XI) v1.c8.s7.12

v1.c8.s7.12

Prabhāvatiguptā died at a fairly advanced age. She was living in the 19th year of her son Pravarasena’s reign (*c.* A.D. 430), when she is known to have visited the temple at Rāmagiri and to have made a grant on that occasion. Four years later we find her son making a grant for the spiritual welfare both of himself and his mother in this and the after life.² It is therefore clear that the dowager queen lived up to at least *c.* A.D. 435, when she must have been more than seventy years of age.³
